At 20, she moved to the Middle East- hoping to transition far away from her non-affirming parents. For four years, she lived stealth as a man within communities of Palestinian Muslims and Orthodox Jews in Israel. Living through Middle Eastern wars caused Maia to understand the impracticalities of transition. Consequently, she desisted from a trans identity which lasted for half of her life.
